Ports are more than places of cargo and commerce but are gateways of memory, sacrifice, and transformation.
That’s according to Chairman of the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. Rodney Ramroop, as he reflected on the vital role the port would have played back in 1845, when East Indian indentured labourers first arrived in T&T.
